“As long as justice is postponed we always stand on the verge of these darker nights of social disruption”...so said Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech on March 14, 1968, just three weeks before he was assassinated.

"This weekend, I had an amazing time speaking at the Mile High Mystery Conference in Denver, Colorado.

During this weekend, and especially after hearing more about the work of David Paulides, I realized how much work he has put in to researching the mysterious disappearances of people within National Parks and public lands.

Whatever the true cause may be, there are a growing number of cases where people have vanished with no evidence, but to further astonishment, the government has no database and does not put any work into tracking and archiving these cases once they seemingly "turn cold".

There is a petition I am hoping you can all sign, which needs only 718 more signatures to reach it's goal of 10,000 (as of the writing of this post). I'd like to offer my support (I signed) and hope you all can sign, this important petition to ask the government to start maintaining a database to archive and preserve those lost in National Parks without a trace. The purpose of this would be to make the government accountable for keeping track and reporting of the missing, to inform the public of the facts surrounding missing persons cases on public lands, as well as keeping account of all missing individuals and the circumstances under which they went missing on public lands.

No matter the cause of the missing persons, this database would be critical to understanding what may be going on, why, where, patterns, etc.

It takes only a minute -- and will help in more ways than I can explain in this post. Let's show him that those that follow The Black Vault can send this well over the goal of 10,000 and beyond.

Investigator David Paulides, who has worked in law enforcement in the San Francisco Bay Area, is an expert in the disproportionate number of mysterious disappearances happening in our national parks. In the first three hours of the show, he discussed cases of experienced hunters who vanished under odd and unexplained circumstances. In the US and Canada, there are 59 geographic clusters of missing people, with Yosemite being the largest cluster, he reported. Among the repeated patterns are no scent trail for canine trackers, no sounds or screaming when people vanish, inclement or changing weather at the time of the incidents, and loss of memory of the victims that are found alive.

What's particularly strange about hunters' disappearances is that they're armed, and they know the areas they're in, yet often they vanish within a very short time span when alone for just a few minutes, and their bodies are usually never found, he cited. In the case of Robert Winters, aged 78, who disappeared in Sparks Lake, Oregon in 1969, when hunting with his three sons, sixty searchers converged on the area, just as heavy snowfall hit. His body was never discovered, but nine months later, one boot, one glove, glasses and other items belonging to Winters were found. The single boot and glove appeared to be carefully removed from the body, and no bones or signs of death were ever found. In a recent case from June of this year, Jack Thomas, an avid outdoorsman, disappeared in Sawtooth Wilderness, Idaho. He'd been carrying a SPOT device, a personal transmitter that sends one's location signal via satellite. His body has yet to be found, though the SPOT was recovered in a different location then where he'd sent a signal. "It's the only case I know of where someone was carrying one of these, and wasn't found," Paulides commented. He also announced the completion of his documentary, Missing 411 (view video trailer), which he plans to release in the first half of 2017.
